Scoring:
If you answered “yes” to fewer than two questions, your thyroid is probably healthy.
If you answered “yes” to 2 to 4 questions, you’re at mild risk for thyroid problems.
If you answered “yes” to 4 or more questions, you have a significant risk of thyroid problems.

II don't think there is enough attention paid by the Drs to having people checked out for Thyroid problems. I had to ask my Dr to get my Thyrid checked. I had all  the signs that i had aThyroid problem. It turned out i did have a problem & now on medication. I think there should be more put out to inform more people that this can be taken care of with medication.Thanks for your artical...
